An excerpt: "... Originally known as Westmost Golf Course, it is still the western most layout in the entire lower 48 and though not directly on the ocean you can hear and smell the nearby surf. Seemingly short at just over 2,000 yards, it might as well have been 20,000 playing on a windy day with hickory-shafted sticks. In fact, the par rises from 32 to 36 if you use the old clubs."
"The course unfurls in a lowland surrounded by hills and forest. A ridge to the left of the opening holes, and covered in yellow-flowering gorse, smelled like a pina colada and– with a little imagination– brought the opening holes at Dornoch to mind."
"Sit in the clubhouse after your round and enjoy a Bellhaven or Harp’s Lager and have a look at the photos and genuine flags from some of the major’s that Russell worked. And dream about what golf was like a hundred years ago– still tremendous fun, but much harder!"
The World Newspaper website has not yet updated their Golf Course Guide (accessible via same link, above), but all good info about us as well as the many other courses in our area.
